For the longest time I thought of this placed as a home, as a community, a place where everyone was loved and accepted.
But then I grew up and I saw how harsh reality really is.
So I learnt how to not feel. I learnt how to be fake and accept societies beliefs and how to put into motion the actions that are expected of me.
The girl is the trophy of the family and if she doesn't know everyone's business she's worth nothing.
It's just another reason to leave. I'm sick and tired of being stuck in a web of gossip and lies, and how everyone knows someone who knows you. There's no escape. Which is ironic because it's the only thing I want to do.
One day I'll be free, in a city where there's so many people you'll never see the same person twice.
At least I hope so.
